Unable to edit theme in editor after WordPress 4.9 Update

    My hosting service provider recently updated my WordPress to 4.9.

    After that, I’m receiving error whenever I try to edit any file in the Appearance -> Editor section.

    The error it gives is: Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using SFTP.

    OR

    “Scrape Nonce Failed”.

    Please let me know if there’s a solution to it as I feel that the real issue is with the new version of WordPress because I’ve seen the same error with other users after they upgraded to 4.9.

    Someone said that a plugin will resolve the issue but I want to keep the plugins at minimum.

    Looking for the resolution ASAP.

    Thanks,
    Saad.

  • For my site it was the plugin “Photo Gallery” Version 1.4.4 | By Photo Gallery Team, for anyone interested in knowing.

    Currently experiencing the same issue. I’ve deactivated all plugins and reverted to the default Twenty Seventeen theme, and I’m still unable to edit my functions.php file (getting “Scrape Nonce Failed” error).

    The only workaround I’ve found is editing my main theme while having a different theme activated. For some reason I’m unable to update functions.php in the currently active theme.

    Has there been any progress in resolving this issue?
